Collecting hotels.com rewards points for a third-party booking
I'll be staying in a hotel in NYC next week, and the reservation was made by a third party via hotels.com. The email confirmation, which they forwarded to me, included this little snippet:
I already have a hotels.com account, and have been collecting rewards toward a free night for a while. Is there any way to add this hotels.com reservation to my existing account or otherwise take advantage of these two nights reward credit?
Best Answer
I found my own answer shortly after posting. Although it's not immediately obvious how to do it, instructions are available from hotels.com customer service:
- Sign in to your Hotels.com account, go to Find bookings, fill out the form and Submit.
- Select View your reservation.
- Scroll to the Hotels.com™ Rewards box and select Sign in and attach this booking to your account. If you don't see this link, your booking is already attached to your account.
- You should then see this message: "Success! You have successfully added this booking to your Hotels.com™ Rewards account."
